In his first chapter, Mr. Owen sete him- Rolf the task of negativing the idea that the woman's movement, oven so far only as it confines itself to the demand for political equality, is a "superficial" issue to be decided only by the principles of a democratic franchise, of showing that thers is no question concerning which it is more imperative to take the long view, and of showing that within a movement superficially ́considered, as one ai mera polítical justice is the germ of many far-reaching conso- quences to the race.

It is all very well to say, as he says, "Men will lose slaves but find comrades," but making all Allowance for the exigencies of platform ratory, which sometimes perhaps do an injustice to the orator-it is at least just A likely that men will lose comrades and the comrades find themselves in a new slavery, That is the rent question to he faced-and to be considered and not dismissed by a rhetorical tag And if Sufragist Dr Feminist could convince me that the new order would open the gatos to a new glory for their sex, I would gladly see every door fung wide open that barred woman's way, and would throw my own weight, for the little it might be worth, against each door,

The Retrospect. By Ana CAMBRIDGE. LOD-
don Stanley Paul & Co.
Forty-two years ago, a young bride sailed from Plymouth for Australia, where she lived and reared a family, wrote stories and caminiscences, and dreamt of the homeland she never expected to see again. But the unexpected happened. Circumstances called her husband home again, and, in 1908, thirty-eight years after almost to a day since she left her native shores, Ada Cam- bridge landed in England and began a series of calls, largely amid the familiar scenes of early youth and womanhood. The result is a chatty book of reminiscence which takes us back to the middle of the last century. Picturesque scenes in Nor folk Devon and Kent are painted with the brush of enthusinam, and incidents aron re- called which enable those of us who are more
youthful in point of years to judge how far the men and women of the present day and customs of the mid-Victorian era. have wandered from the idealo ond manners He are too near perhaps to the incidents sho depicts to appreciate them to the full. She
